    This was 102 on Labour’s target list. They won’t be happy with their vote share drop here at all.

    This is a much bigger swing than polls had suggested.

    Conservative Justine Greening has also held on to her Putney seat, the swing to Labour of just 0.4% in Putney which is again less than Labour would have hoped.

    In Labour holds we have also seen swings away from Labour – Houghton and Sunderland South and Washington and Sunderland West both saw a 7 per cent swing Lab to Ukip.

    Swindon North constituency result: CON – 50.3% (+5.7) LAB – 27.8% (-2.7) UKIP – 15.4% (+11.7) LDEM – 3.3% (-14.0) GRN – 3.3% (+2.3)
